After a midweek bye, No. 3 Alabama will be back in action on Saturday night against Arkansas inside Bud Walton Arena.

Head coach John Calipari‘s first season in Fayetteville has been interesting, to say the least. Having to rebuild the roster from scratch after leaving Kentucky, Calipari had a preseason top-15 team full of former Kentucky players, top-rated recruits and other transfers. The Razorbacks lost just two games in non-conference play, but started SEC play losing five games in a row.

However, Arkansas has played much better as of late. It has won three of its last four games, including back-to-back road wins over Kentucky and Texas coming into Saturday.

Alabama, on the other hand, has risen to No. 3 in the AP Poll and is 8-1 in SEC play coming into Saturday’s matchup. Head coach Nate Oats is on a 4-game win streak against Arkansas, with the last loss coming in 2021.

The game will tip off at 7:30 p.m. CT on ESPN.
